October Wrap Up!!

[@kennedyparrish9092]

just watching that book tower on the side of your shelf grow and grow

[@PeruseProject]

hahaha its uh getting a lil out of hand

[@kyra_jo]

i get anxiety about it falling over LOL

[@ebnovels]

So many of those books are on my TBR; I’m glad you enjoyed them all 😄

[@annal8043]

Addie Larue is also one of my most anticipated books of the year, can't wait to read it! 😍 I can also recommend the audiobook for The Year of the Witching, the narrator is great!

[@PeruseProject]

oooo I bet the audio book adds to the ambiance!

[@JessieDolan1]

I've always enjoyed Jennifer L Armentrout books for their angst, lusty romances, and quick moving plots. "From Blood and Ash" is just as fun a read, but with a major step up in complexity of characters, plot, and world building. Definitely read book two , "Kingdom of Flesh and Fire". It expands the world even more and explores character development in a much more effective manner than in many of Armentrout's other series.

[@quirkypages697]

You have a way of speaking that is really interesting

[@nailo89]

I loved The Invisible Life of Addie Larue. The tone reminded me a bit of Erin Morgenstern’s The Night Circus and Sea of Stars. I really enjoyed the slow paced, character driven story and lyrical tone.

[@hylabrookbooks]

that is such an adorable top!!

[@PeruseProject]

Thank you!! Madewell :D

[@LyyraBat]

Your top is so autumnal and gorgeous! You definitely made Gideon the Ninth sound super intriguing. I wasn't planning on picking it up, but now I might have to!

[@TheSelkie1990]

For October I read: Blood & Honey (Serpent & Dove #2), The 7 Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Muse of Nightmares, The Year of the Witching, and the Strange Case of the Alchemist's Daughter. :)

[@amypink1111]

From Blood and Ash! Read this and the second book both in October. Devoured them! The second one is even better than the first! Thanks for your delightful reviews. amy

[@manaalali6197]

the books i read in october was truly devious, love is a four letter word, outlaws, and kristy's great idea.

[@adelaquinne2838]

Awesome!

[@soniagimenez406]

Hi Regan! I really appreciated you mentioning the trigger warning for the year of the witching, and I would love it if you could do that in your future reviews. I find it very helpful, and other people might too! 🍁💕

[@Dais-ies]

Really glad I picked up From Blood and Ash because I absolutely loved it!!! Thank you!

[@esmeraldawillemsen2741]

I love your videos! I''ve totally rediscoverd my love of reading because of you! Currently reading The Name Of The Wind :)

[@brunatonella]

I'm definitely gonna have to go after The Year of the Witching - sounds freaking amazing!

[@simranbodhak5480]

Have been waiting for your videos all week.

[@eliseisreading3589]

My TBR’s always get a little bit longer when I watch wrap ups 😅, but this collection of books sounds amazing!

[@jessicaberlin2510]

Just started reading from blood and ash and the invisible life of addie larue. Enjoying both of them. Thankyou Reagan, after watching your blogs on you reading them you have interested me in starting them myself and I am very glad for it

[@kristinh6953]

Just started Hollowpox last night! Loving it so far, all of the Nevermoor books have felt so cozy to me. I can’t wait to see your thoughts!

[@PeruseProject]

Can't wait to get to that book!

[@katereadsbooks3805]

All the books you read this month went straight on my TBR list 💕!! Awesome video! 👌🏼

[@SarahAsYouWish]

I loved The Bone Shard Daughter and hope you do too. I was very impressed by The Year of the Witching, especially as a debut novel. I just started The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet.

[@koriel-in-real-life]

I've been debating on whether or not to read Gideon the Ninth and decided to just look up your review on it here. Looks like I'll be giving it a go!

[@BookishBrittany]

Hey Regan if you are looking for more by Thomas King I highly recommend Green Grass, Running Water. It is beautifully written and it's probably my favourite book this year and I read it in October. Also if you are wanting to check out more Indigenous Authors I recommend Eden Robinson, Cherie Dimaline, Katherena Vermette, Alicia Elliot and Michelle Good.

[@jessicam.7028]

I've been reading The Rise of Kyoshi by F.C. Yee with Avatar Co-Creator Michael Dante Dimartino and it is SOOOOOOOOOOO good! You get to see how Avatar Kyoshi became to be and her story and it's just amazing 10/10 would recommend for anyone who is a fan of Avatar the Last Airbender series

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I’ve had middlegame on my TBR for so long now!

[@DreamAmongStars]

For Gideon the Ninth and Harrow the Ninth I think it makes a lot more sense if you listen to it on audio. Bonus the audiobooks are AMAZING Moira Quirk does a fantastic job!

[@giseleeiras9450]

I'm SO happy you liked Gideon the Ninth!! 💜💜 I had the same experience: I love Gideon, all the characters and dialogues, but I feel like I had to reread the description parts many times, and the worldbuilding was very, very confusing to me (At least it gets better on the second book)

[@clareseymour6227]

I love your look in this video so much!🧡 These books sound awesome!! I especially want to read Middlegame after hearing you talk about it and The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue! I also need to read Rebecca Roanhorse’s works!

[@wjamimah7772]

Ok, your synopsis of Gideon the Ninth is making me want to read this more than ever before. Everything sounds like exactly my gig.

[@asmalljoy]

Did I just add 7 books to my TBR list? Yes, yes I did.

[@readem_blog]

your description of Gideon the Ninth completely hooked me wow!!

[@angelekay3843]

Just saying, my tbr list has become totally unmanageable since finding your channel.... i love it! ♡

[@Nik-dc4ti]

I read 29 books in October, only because where I live we are in lockdown so no work for me.

[@brunatonella]

Omg that's so amazing. There was ONE time I hit a number like that - right after I took the exams to get into college, because I was finally free to read whatever I wanted after an entire year of studying :)

[@Nik-dc4ti]

@@brunatonella it definitely isn't the norm for me, especially since I read mostly fantasy! Before this the most I'd ever read was 15 books in one month. Not sure I'll reach this number again haha

[@brunatonella]

@@Nik-dc4ti yeah I get it, I never managed to repeat that either, it was probably once in a lifetime 😅

[@SilverstreamPJ28]

Holy shit girl 😱 congratulations though! Thats hella impressive

[@adelaquinne2838]

That's awesome! I read 16.

[@alyygator]

this is what i’ve been waiting for all day 😫 finallyyy

[@Lofyamv]

You give Addie Larue such a good hype! I need to get my hands on it now

[@PeruseProject]

!! Hope you enjoy!

[@tashalangridge-rocksart889]

One of my dreams is that, one day you'll be holding up a copy of my book in one of your videos. 😍 That's if I ever get published.

[@awizardintraining]

I loved Middlegame as well. It was probably my surprise hit of the month. I tried reading Addie LaRue, but the character of Henry hit a bit too close to home for me

[@moev29]

Loved Gideon the Ninth. hated Harrow the Ninth. If you think Gideon was tough to keep up with Harrow is going to make you want to tear your hair out. But I look forward to it all coming together in Alecto. Enjoyed the Invisible a life of Addie Larue as well but the ending could’ve stopped a bit earlier. Also, could’ve done without his background and just enjoyed more of her history instead. You definitely made me want to read Middlegame. Hollowpox was really good she git me very exited for the next book already.

[@Heatherskl]

I also just finished Trail Of Lightning - as part of IndigAThon and immediately added the next book in the series to my TBR.

[@TheBookishMom]

I have really been wanting to read Gideon the Ninth and Middle Game. I read Addie LaRue this month and it may be one of my favorite books of the year.

[@AnniesBookNook]

Your blouse is so cute and perfect for fall

[@giftofbooks164]

I’m actually reading another one of Armentrout’s books, Storm and Fury. When you described Ashes and Blood most of your description sounded REALLY similar to Storm and Fury. No joke. She might have her own story formula if this is how she writes all of her fantasies 😅

[@becklebooks]

You're making me want to read Trail of Lightning!! It sounds suuuuper up my alley. :D Congrats on reading 7 books in October and smashing your reading goal, that's awesome!

[@bethanytaylor1441]

Just read the novella Rolling in the deep by Mira Grant. Going to pick up her full novel into the drowning deep tonight! It has the perfect horror deep sea vibes

[@alejandravelazquez3452]

the invisible life of addie larue sounds very similar to the movie the age of adaline! I really recommend it

[@antoinettabadin9722]

Sending you love from Germany ❤ We're in the second lockdown now but at least I have time to read all the books I want :) I wish you all a great Sunday and I wanna recommend you some cool chill out music for your weekend: Amilea - The Rules This song always cheers me up so I hope you'll enjoy it too :)

[@patrii]

im so glad you liked from blood and ash! one of my new romance fantasy books! i immediately read the second one and it gets sO much better cant wait to hear your thoughts :) i have a reading vlog for both hehe

[@originalunicorn7723]

You definitly need another bookshelf😂♥️

[@panienkashy]

I’m very intrigued by your Addie Larue thoughts. Made me think I should move it up my TBR. 😊 My current read is actually a reread but no regrets because it’s incredible - Furyborn by Claire Legrand. Third book to the trilogy just came out so you can marathon it all. It’s a dark adult fantasy story so right your alley!

[@oggarbagetea84]

I've been thinking about picking Middle Game up for quite some time now !

[@OverstuffedShelf]

Somehow I thought Middlegame was about something very very different. But it sounds amazing! I need to bump it up the list.

[@xAlyestelle]

You look great in this video! I mean always but the top looks really good on you! 😊

[@maudhaugland5822]

Love your top! Also, I can't wait to read Addie LaRue ✨ My favourite read of October was probably The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern, which I've had on my TBR for years, and it was truly magical! However, it was The Subtle Knife by Philip Pullman that got me through isolation, and now I can't wait for the tv series!

[@quirkypages697]

Also, Addie Larue sounds good

[@ZeeZeeDreaming]

Loved this wrap up!

[@badandbookiee9081]

I love your blouse!!😩

[@MsJeshka]

Aww.... u should have read Gideon through audioobook. It was soooo good :) Gideon was so cheeky.

[@sav1052]

If you like Thomas King, please read "The Truth About Stories" by him.

[@michaelgarcia2973]

I need to catch up on my reading

[@evam6961]

Ah i am so glad you liked gideon the ninth 😭 i know it is confusing for many ppl and for a good reason 😅

Every month when it's time for Wrap Ups I'm realising you and a dash of ash are not the same person 😂

[@moonlxght9700]

[@namratapdr]

Wait till you read the second book after Gideon ,the ninth which is Harrow the ninth , I still don't know what happened in that book 😂 (in a good way)

how did you not read robin hobb this month omg

[@miuyiyuyo]

What is your personal favorite genre?

How do you take such good care of your books? I feel like no matter how much I try the spine of my paperbacks suffer :(

I didn't like the year of the witching all that much 😔 the ending was so underwhelming

outta context but you look extra gorgeous in this video

[@carriebateman4465]

Too much info given on Addie Larue, 😢 I’m reading now. I feel you revealed too much! Ack! 😬

[@staceyroach1233]

I dont think she said anymore than what is really given in summary on the book or in the description if you Google it to get a synopsis. 🤔

[@carriebateman4465]

@@staceyroach1233 she absolutely did

[@staceyroach1233]

in this video? or a different one? I'm just curious what she gave away 🤔

[@kyliefitzgerald6984]

I was soooo disappointed with Gideon the Ninth. Like painfully disappointed. I couldn't stand the writing style and it completely ruined it for me :(
